Strong Black Women Feel Things Too

 


 


 


How many times has something happened in your life and you find
yourself staring in the mirror mouthing the words…


I shouldn’t be feeling this way.
Why am crying about this?
Suck it up, girl. You’re stronger than this!
Get your sh** together NOW.


When you do this, you invalidate your feelings. You have a right
to feel whatever you’re feeling in any given moment. Why are you
depriving yourself of that?


There’s no right or wrong way to feel when life happens. You. you
feel how you feel.
Our emotions and feelings exist to teach us, to grow us and when
we suppress them, invalidate them or judge them, we miss out on
those opportunities.


You can be strong and be hurt.
You can be strong and feel pain.
You can be strong and cry.
You can be strong and grieve.
You can strong and crave companionship and affection.
You can be strong and be HUMAN.


You GET to do both, sis!! One ABSOULUTELY DOES NOT negate the
other! So when faced with the choice of being strong and being
human, do both because being strong is being human and HUMANS
feel, they cry, they heal.
